There was an image of Saber's swimsuit (what is the woman version of mankini?) earlier, I wonder exactly how swimwear fit into the story? But then again they managed to fit a naked, shining Gil into the story.

I'm resurrecting, partially, the topic, as I've been playing (rather slowly due to time constraints) the game, and I think I'm almost at the halfway point (around mid-end of Chapter 3). Let's say I am very disappointed in the game, and not for sticking to the terrible battle system or the sub-par technical level. Mostly has to do with the writing.

Nasu said before the game came out that the script got really bigger after the delay, and it is indeed bigger than EXTRA's semi-minimalistic approach. The issue is that is literally littered with needless padding. To elaborate, the game keeps making fun of the established characters of the old game, but doesn't know when to stop. Several times conversations drag on too long without offering anything worthwile. Also

Spoiler for Some story spoilers:

As of now, BB is supposed (assuming people don't do the CCC route) to be someone "strange" who is fixated in not letting the MC escape. Sadly, the game up to now has done a poor job on her character, so everytime I see the "BB Channel" I can't help but groan, as the events are not useful at all and rarely advance the plot.

I'm also trying to understand how the game wants to perceive BB's Alter Egos. Pity? Curiosity? I don't know. Passion Lip surely feels one-dimensional, mostly due to her events in the dungeons dragging on for too long and having little meaning.

On the upside, the dungeons have become bigger and some (like one at around mid-chapter 2) are also interesting to do. What's not interesting is that certain events just have you go back and forth the dungeons for no reason other than artificially slowing progress down.
Punish time is...amusing, that's all I'm going to say. Voice acting seems to be distributed randomly, despite having more voiced lines, especially during long events in the Student Council room.

In short, as of now, I wouldn't recommend the game even to people who played the original.

Do you speak Japanese? If not, then of course you're not going to understand what is going on....

I wouldn't even have gotten the game if I didn't know the language. Nasu's style is also peculiar, so it requires more than a basic knowledge.
But with this game certain dialogues are really stretched too much (not to mention the odd way of deciding what is voiced and what is not).

Gilgamesh stripped before Elizabeth. And his jewels shined like gold.

Elizabeth: Eek u perv!
Gilgamesh: Behold my golden rod!

I won't even see that scene, as I flat out refused to use Gilgamesh (I don't like the character one bit). I sticked with Saber like I did with the original game. Still, the humor is too hit and miss, especially when it wastes time that could have been devoted to the story.

Spoiler for Example from Chapter 3:

When Rani joins the Student Council a great deal of time is spent on discussing pointless detail (like the choice of her dress, suggested by Leo) for "fun" reasons. Then there's another semi-useless segment with BB Channel in which BB just messes with the MC as usual. Then finally the story part kicks in with a discussion of what BB can and cannot do due to Moon Cell's system. Only this part, which is important, is completely unvoiced, while the time-wasting ones are.
